Patient's question:
Recently, for some reason, I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Please ask, what is atrial fibrillation?Doctor's answer:
Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat of the new heart, which is a type of arrhythmia. It occurs when there are issues with the sinoatrial node, where there are multiple pacemaker points in the atrium. It requires standardized treatment, and the corresponding analysis and treatment should be carried out based on specific conditions. It is necessary to control the ventricular rate. Arrhythmia is a persistent condition, and not every heartbeat of the atrium can be transmitted to the ventricle. Atrial fibrillation has a significant relationship with coronary heart disease and hypertension.
